How we run the workout affects whether or not we’re training the mind effectively.

Running Pace Variability refers to the extent that a runner’s pace can change. For example, a runner who jogs at 10:30/mile pace and sprints at 4:00/mile pace has a fairly large range in paces they can access: a high pace variability.

I want to be clear about something big: the treadmill requires less mental focus and engagement than running outside does.

I felt prompted to write this blog post after hearing from several sources that super shoes really only help fast runners, and that super shoes increase injury risk, bla bla bla.

You’re not constantly checking your watch or waiting for it to beep. You have a visual goal to focus on (your finish line) which helps you mentally stay engaged.

I have good news. You, yes you, can still do the BARE MINIMUM and become a stronger runner. There are ONLY 2 exercises!
